My definition of a homosexual:
	Someone who prefers members of the same sex.  The difference between
	this and bisexual is that a bisexual is attracted to both sexes but
	does not clearly prefer one over the other in the long run.  A
	homosexual might be attracted to both sexes, but would prefer one over
	the other.

Female impersonators:
	If you (a male) are attracted to someone who looks like a female, it
	does not mean that you prefer men.  I do not think this has anything
	to do with whether you are Gay.

Labeling:
	Why do people label themselves?
	Yes, you can say "Gee, I am sexually attracted to that person I wonder
	if they will go out with me."  And if that person is a MOTSS, then
	you have labeled yourself Gay, and if that person is a MOTOS then
	you have labeled yourself Straight.  If you alternate then you have
	labeled yourself Bi.  It does not take any effort to label yourself, it
	just happens.
